A popular social media personality and internet detective believes he has uncovered evidence that a cursed sports franchise is about to end their stroke of bad luck…and it’ll be thanks entirely to Tom Brady.

During his interview with Stephen A. Smith at the Fanatics Fest in New York City last month, Tom Brady called Jordan Love’s Green Bay Packers one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ top threats to a three-peat.

Instagram user The Hockey Illuminati shared a video suggesting that Brady’s claim on the Packers might be good luck for the Toronto Maple Leafs, owners of the longest Stanley Cup drought. The Leafs last won it all in 1967 and haven’t reached the finals ever since.

So if Tom Brady’s suggestion about the Chiefs and Packers facing off in Super Bowl 59 becomes a reality? As The Hockey Illuminati points out, the only Packers-Chiefs Super Bowl showdown happened the same year that Toronto last won the Stanley Cup:


The Packers defeated the Chiefs in the first Super Bowl on Jan. 15, 1967. This game happened before the merger, with Green Bay and Kansas City representing the NFL and AFL in the big game, respectively. The Packers won 35-10.

Toronto has only won a single playoff series since the post-lockout era (2005-06). Despite a star-studded core led by Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander, John Tavares and Morgan Rielly, the Leafs haven’t come close to reaching hockey’s ultimate goal.

Will Tom Brady serve as a good luck charm to a long-suffering Maple Leafs franchise and their fans? If one legendary athlete can offer serendipity for a cursed team, it’s the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Tom Brady Saved Two NFL Franchises

The New England Patriots were among the NFL’s saddest franchises before Tom Brady arrived in 2000. Over a 17-year span, he led the team to nine AFC Championships and six Super Bowls.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were mostly irrelevant from 2003 to 2019, but that all changed when Brady arrived in 2020. He led them to three straight postseason appearances and a Super Bowl 55 title in his first season there, restoring the championship DNA in the Bucs before Baker Mayfield took over the reins.

Former NFL Quarterback Brett Favre Lashes Out At Taylor Swift, Accuses Her Of Using Her “Influence” For Foul Reasons

Former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre has taken a swipe at pop sensation Taylor Swift for political reasons ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.

The 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro is known to be a supporter of former President Donald Trump and has previously endorsed him.

He’s since taken a shot at Swift, who recently endorsed Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris following Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes informing everyone that he wouldn’t endorse a candidate.

“Good take by Mahomes,” he wrote in a tweet.

“I see a lot of celebs trying to influence their audience instead of letting the people think for themselves. If the best choice for them ain’t clear and they’re easily swayed by their fav pop artist, it’s not going to be a good thing.”
